Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4.16 to 4.18

Explanation

Cooling heat rejection is0.58×45=26.1 kW. Multiply by the given flow requirement:26.1×0.16=4.176 L/s, approximately4.18. The stated proportional flow requirement already incorporates the cooling-temperature specification; do not divide by6 again.
